CIEG 820 - Inelastic Behavior of Geomaterials

Credit(s): 3

INELASTIC BEHVR:GEOMATERIALS
Component: Lecture
Introduces constitutive laws and numerical methods used to characterize the stress-strain-time behavior of geomaterials. Correlation between laboratory experiments and numerical predictions. Finite element analyses of coupled stress flow problems (e.g., consolidation), reinforced earth structures and slopes. Discussion of anisotropy, time effects and frictional interfaces.
